Serviio server on WD My Book Live

run

  Code:

apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

I'm getting stuck here on installing this on my MyBook Live, I had some public key issues when running the apt-get update that I got around. I'm still getting errors when running the first line:

Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package sun-java6-jdk has no installation candidate

I tried to install the jre, got a different error:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sun-java6-jre: Depends: sun-java6-bin (= 6-26-0lenny1) but it is not installable or
ia32-sun-java6-bin (= 6-26-0lenny1) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

I've been playing with the sources file, using nano /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free contrib

Any help would be appreciated.

I got the FFMpeg package installed after much learning!

Now I get the below error, any ideas what could be the issue.
I needed to mount a new /tmp directory to get FFMpeg installed so there is lots of space there.

I haven't made it as far as you yet, but makeing progress finally.
Went with OpenJDK6 for java
Got the serviio installed and according the log it's running. Got it installed as a service. Checked log file and it's running.
According to my blueray player the server is up.

So now how do I manage it. Launching the console through SSH didn't work. I've downloaded the OSX console app to my 10.5.8 macbook pro, edited the contents of the info.plist to point it to the ip address of the server, and it gives an error that "Cannot connect to Serviio Server, it does not seem to be running. Exiting"

What should I do? Below is the start of that info.plist file.

  Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

[zip]

how did you get the FFMpeg command? It seems maxrate is wrong (shoud be the same as -b)

try with this:

  Code:

ffmpeg -i /shares/Public/Boardwalk.Empire.S01E01.Boardwalk.Empire.HDTV.XviD-FQM.avi -y -threads 1 -vcodec mpeg2video -b 17000k -maxrate 17000k -bufsize 5097k -r 24000/1001 -g 15 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 192k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts /shares/transcoding-temp-77-MPEG2TS.stf -lglevel debug -report

Thanks Zip, not sure why that was different may of been copy/paste error.
Below is the correct output,it is still failing.

ffmpeg -i /shares/Public/Boardwalk.Empire.S01E01.Boardwalk.Empire.HDTV.XviD-FQM.avi -y -threads 1 -vcodec mpeg2video -b 17000k -maxrate 17000k -bufsize 5097k -r 24000/1001 -g 15 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 192k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts /shares/transcoding-temp-77-MPEG2TS.stf -loglevel debug -report

http://www.serviio.org/component/content/article/21#q2 look here jazzman

Thanks, was already there. But now I realize my mistake, left the serviio off of the parameter serviio.remoteHost. Added that to the client and I was up and running.

One question, with setting up the daemon to run, there were posts stating that you shouldn't use root as the username. What's the reason behind it?

Thanks.

Thanks.

1. Common sense you dont run anything as root

2. Can cause crashing and conflicts, i forget the exact issues.

Hi Guys,

I tried removing and re-installing x264 and FFMpeg but I still get the Illegal instruction error.
I also tried the following command and get the same issue.

ffmpeg -i file.avi -f mpgets output.stf

Is there something else I can try, where would this error be coming from?

Thanks

[Cerberus]

maybe jazzman once I has it all working can do a how to for us to help others out and I will polish it and add to wiki

Since I was playing around and filled up the hard drive partition for the Debian os, I decided to basically start from scratch and performed a firmware update. This is the version of the firmware that can be gotten from Western Digital itself, it disables MeoNet, so you may just want to update to the current version through the UI.

1) Go to http://mybooklive/UI/ssh (case sensitive) replace "mybooklive" if you have renamed it to something else, or replace it with its IP address. It's a hidden UI menu to enable SSH.

2) Log in to through SSH by the IP for the device, then Install Optware

  Code:

wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/optware/setup-mybooklive.sh
sh setup-mybooklive.sh
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:." >> /root/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:." >> /etc/profile
logout

Log back into the SSH

3) Test Optware and install a simple text editor

  Code:

ipkg update
ipkg install nano
nano


A basic editor opens, hit ctrl-x to close.

4) Install Core-Utils

  Code:

ipkg install coreutils
ln -s /opt/bin/coreutils-dirname /usr/bin/dirname

5) Install Java

  Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install --allow-unauthenticated debian-keyring
apt-get install --allow-unauthenticated debian-archive-keyring
apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
java -version
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre

6) Install Serviio and setup user account to run the program

  Code:

useradd serviio
passwd serviio
usermod -a -G root serviio

mkdir /usr/local/serviio/
cd /usr/local/serviio/
wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-0.6.0.1-linux.tar.gz
tar -xf serviio-0.6.0.1-linux.tar.gz

7) Launch Serviio as a test

  Code:

cd serviio-0.6.0.1/bin
serviio.sh

You will be at a blank line, it appears like nothing is happening, yet the server is starting. One way to confirm is to open another ssh window, log in and run

  Code:

tail -f /usr/local/serviio/serviio-0.6.0.1/log/serviio.log

This will show a live output of the serviio log file. When you are satisfied that it's launching, hit ctrl-c in both ssh windows.

8) Setup Daemon to launch serviio upon bootup of your MyBook Live.
8a) create serviiod

  Code:

nano /etc/default/serviiod

Copy following code, the service account is the name of the account we created in step 6. Also, the Daemon is the path to the serviio.sh file, update if you use a different version/location.

  Code:

8c) Set files to launch on startup

  Code:

chown serviio -R /usr/local/serviio
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/serviio
update-rc.d serviio defaults

Reboot MyBook Live. Check status when back up by using either the tail command above, or

  Code:

/etc/init.d/serviio status

9) Access server through the console, use http://www.serviio.org/component/content/article/21#q2 as a reference. With respect to Mac, when entering the propertly, I placed them with the 3rd <dict> section, the one located after the property key.

10) Two other commands to stop or start the service when signed into the ssh, though you could use the console to do the same.

  Code:

/etc/init.d/serviio start
/etc/init.d/serviio stop

Though I am getting an error when trying to play some video files, think it's possibly the ffmpeg version.

  Code:

2012-01-02 20:00:55,017 WARN  [ProcessExecutor] Process ffmpeg has a return code of 134! This is a possible error.

yer update FFmpeg to latest version.

http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=build_ffmpeg_linux

I added two lines of code, one in step 5 and one in step 6.

Secondly, with the rebuild of ffmpeg I'm hitting an issue right off the bat in the code command below. a number of the packages are not available, such as libfaac-dev, libmp3lame-dev, libssl1.0.0, libxvidcore-dev, and libxvidcore4 to name a few. Plus the last time I ran out of space so I have to make a tmp drive like a previous poster mentioned.

So can we just exclude the packages that are not available?

  Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall git libfaac-dev libjack-jackd2-dev \
  libmp3lame-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev \
  libva-dev libvdpau-dev libvorbis-dev libx11-dev libxfixes-dev texi2html yasm zlib1g-dev \
  libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev libxvidcore-dev libxvidcore4

[Cerberus]

no if you exclude packages you will find serviio wont work as they are all required.

EDIT: found this site maybe helpful http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/

also you may want to install optware ipkg see site linked above and try this

  Code:

# ipkg update
# ipkg install ffmpeg && ipkg install coreutils

I had the same problem, I built FFMpeg according to the instructions provided but had no joy.
I tried rebuilding but still got an "Illegal Instruction" error when executing the FFMpeg -i command.

I can't take it any further as the My Book was a gift for somebody, I just went with running Serviio on a laptop and accessing the network share.

I've had fun the past week trying to get ffmpeg installed, filled the hard drive, messed up with the install and almost bricked the hard drive, filled up the hard drive a second time due to a typo, etc. Each time I ended up starting over from scratch by restoring the firmware, so I've had the opportunity to use my directions above.

Needless to say I've found some typos and missing items and have made corrections. So if the above was transitioned to a wiki, there will be some differences.

At least I finally got ffmpeg installed, I'll be testing in the next couple days.

*edit* though I just noticed that serviio 6.1 has been released with support for ffmpeg 9, so I'm not sure how much the ffmpeg directions from the link above is necessary.

[moltra]

I have a MBWD white at home that I pulled the harddrive out and put in my Linux server. I will see if I have another harddrive and see if I can set it up and run it. I have been wanting to setup a small serviio server for my parents house.

I have been trying to unbrick my daughters old Acer aspire one. Maybe I can get the MBWD working.

http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/ Is a great site I have posted there in the past and got good information.

I'm getting stuck here. So prior to running the directions in the wiki to build FFMPEG, running the original version yeilded the following results.

  Code:

Now that I just finished compiling FFMPEG per the directions, I get the following:

Illegal instruction


One other thing, when browsing with my Blueray player, prior to attempting the compile, all of the videos appears but gave an error that the file was currupted. Now post compile, those videos will not even appear.


So what I've done so far:
1) Added deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main and uncommented deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main
then resolved a keyring warning. I also added a preferences file for Apt Pinning to prioritize stable versions first.
2) To have enough space, pointed the transcoding location to /shares/Public/vtmp/
then expanded the /tmp location for the os.

  Code:

mkdir -p /shares/Public/tmp
cp -af /tmp/* /shares/Public/tmp
mount -o bind /shares/Public/tmp /tmp


3) Then started to follow the instructions at http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=build_ffmpeg_linux
First issue is that during the Install Essential Build Tools and Libraries step, got the below error

Preparing to replace dpkg 1.15.7.2 (using .../dpkg_1.15.8.11_powerpc.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement dpkg ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.15.8.11_powerpc.deb (--unpack):

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.15.8.11_powerpc.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So I use the following to resolve the conflict, stating yes.

  Code:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.15.8.11_powerpc.deb

4) Continued with "Build and Install x264", "Build and Install libvpx", "Build and Install librtmp"
Amoung all of the outputs, there were only a few warnings.
For x264 there was

  Code:

gcc -Wshadow -O3 -ffast-math  -Wall -I. -maltivec -mabi=altivec -std=gnu99 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-tree-vectorize   -c -o common/ppc/pixel.o common/ppc/pixel.c

Libvpx had

...
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.


5) Now comes the FFMPEG step. I've done this twice, once exactly as the wiki says, and once as I will outline below to use the source that's posted on this site.

  Code:

wget http://download.serviio.org/opensource/ffmpeg-0.9.tar.gz
tar -xf ffmpeg-0.9.tar.gz
mv ffmpeg-0.9 ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-version3 --enable-x11grab --enable-libvpx --enable-librtmp --enable-libxvid
make
checkinstall --pkgname=ffmpeg --pkgversion="5:$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)-git" --backup=no --deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default

During these steps there were a lot of warnings.
Throughout the make step... to big to post, I'll try to include in the next post, if only examples of the errors.

And even in the installation portion of the check install

  Code:
